WHY IS RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY SO IMPORTANT?

Even though tooth decay has gone down over the years in part to patients being more informed, an increase in available dental care, and fluoride, some patients still suffer from extreme tooth decay. Luckily, with restorative dentistry like dentures, implants, crowns, filling, inlays, and veneers, patients can get back their appearance and ability to chew again. So, what is the real importance of restorative dentistry and why does it matter? Let’s look a little closer.

Better Oral Health

If you have had to have a tooth pulled due to extreme decay or corrosion, then you may think you are good to live life without that tooth— after all, you can still chew and function fine without it. However, did you know that missing teeth can result in bone loss in your jaw and can cause your teeth to shift around as well? To take care of your overall oral health, make sure to consider restorative dentistry.

Better Ability To Chew

Cracked, damaged, or missing teeth can put a damper on your ability to enjoy eating and chewing on foods like beef jerky, steak, carrots, or apples. By getting your tooth repaired or replaced, however, you can start enjoying your favorite foods again.

Greater Confidence

Your looks aren’t everything, but they can be a lot, and your self-esteem often stems from how you feel on the outside. If you have a mouth full of damaged or missing teeth, chances are that you don’t have as good of a self-esteem as you once had. Restorative dentistry helps give you back your smile and confidence all at one time.
